Heteroarm H‐shaped terpolymers through click reaction

Heteroarm H‐shaped terpolymers, (polystyrene)(poly(methyl methacrylate))‐ poly(tert‐butyl acrylate)‐(polystyrene)(poly(methyl methacrylate)), (PS)(PMMA)‐PtBA‐(PMMA)(PS), and, (PS)(PMMA)‐poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)‐(PMMA)(PS), through click reaction strategy between PS‐PMMA copolymer (as side chains) with an alkyne functional group at the junction point and diazide end‐functionalized PtBA or PEG (as a main chain). PS‐PMMA with alkyne functional group was prepared by sequential living radical polymerizations such as the nitroxide mediated (NMP) and the metal mediated‐living radical polymerization (ATRP) routes. The obtained H‐shaped polymers were characterized by using ¹H‐NMR, GPC, DSC, and AFM measurements. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 1055–1065, 2007     

A FACILE APPROAC0H FOR THE SURFACE MODIFICATION OF POLY(VINYLIDENE FLUORIDE)MEMBRANE VIA SURFACE-INITIATED ATOM TRANSFER RADICAL POLYMERIZATION

A novel approach for the surface modification of poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)membrane was successfully realized through alkaline treatment,UV-induced bromine addition,and followed by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP)of methyl methacrylate(MMA).Chemical changes on the PVDF membrane before and after modification were analyzed with attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(AIR/Fr-IR)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).Primary kinetic study revealed that the chain growth of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)from the PVDF surface is consistent with a"controlled"process.     

An enzyme-immobilization method for integration of biofunctions on a microchip using a water-soluble amphiphilic phospholipid polymer having a reacting group

A water-soluble phospholipid polymer having an active ester group in the side chain, poly[2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC)-co-n-butyl methacrylate (BMA)-co-p-nitrophenyloxycarbonyl polyethyleneglycol methacrylate (MEONP)(PMBN), was used for the immobilization of an enzyme on a plastic microchip. The MPC polymers with BMA units were adsorbed onto the poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) microchip, and the active ester group in the MEONP unit reacted with the amino groups of the proteolytic enzyme, trypsin. Trypsin was immobilized on the sample reservoir, and catalyzed the hydrolysis of the fluorescently labeled ArgOEt to Arg. The consequent separation of product from the substrate, and their detection, were integrated on the microchip and this meant that all procedures from the enzymatic activity to product detection were completed in less than three minutes.

A cationic bridged zirconocene complex as the catalyst for the stereospecific polymerization of methyl methacrylate

The cationic bridged zirconocene complex [iPr(Cp)(Ind)Zr(Me)(THF)][BPh₄] ( 1 ‐BPh₄) was synthesized. Polymerization of methyl methacrylate with 1 ‐BPh₄ in CH₂Cl₂ at temperatures between –20 and 20°C led to the formation of isotactic poly(methyl methacrylate). The low polydispersity index of the polymer obtained and a successful two step polymerization of methyl methacrylate with 1 ‐BPh₄ are hints towards a living polymerization mechanism. ¹H and ¹³C NMR analysis revealed an enantiomorphic site‐controlled mechanism for the formation of isotactic poly(methyl methacrylate).

Crystallization,morphology, structure and miscibility of poly(ethylene oxide) based blends

Results of an investigation on the morphology, structure, isothermal crystallization, thermal behaviour and miscibility of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) based binary blends are reported. In particular poly(vinyl acetate)(PVAc), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) at different tacticity and poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) were added to PEO. It was found that with the only exception of isotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (IPMMA), the addition of the above cited components causes a depression in both the spherulite growth rate and the overall kinetic rate constant. The experimental G and Kn were analyzed by means of the latest kinetic theory in order to determine the influence of composition on the process of surface secondary nucleation. The optical microscopy of thin films of the sample revealed that the blends crystallized with volume filling crystals at least up to 50/50 blend composition. The small angle X-ray scattering curves were analyzed using a recently developed methodology. The structural properties of the blends were attributed to the presence of the non crystallizable material in the interlamellar or interfibrillar regions of PEO. From the glass transition temperature it has been deduced that an homogeneous amorphous phase is present for all the blends except for the PEO/IPMMA amorphous system. For the system PEO/atactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (APMMA) the miscibility was also predicted by theoretical approaches.

Preparation of water dispersible poly(methyl methacrylate)-based vesicles for facile persistent antibacterial applications

We report a facile strategy for incorporating persistent and effective antibacterial property into a widely used polymer, poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA), by copolymerizing methyl methacrylate(MMA) with 2-(tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate(TA) in one pot via atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP). The subsequent self-assembly of the resultant poly(methyl methacrylate)-block-poly[(2-tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate](PMMA20-b-PTA15) diblock copolymer affords well-defined water-dispersible vesicles, which can be facilely sprayed on the walls in hospitals for effective inhibition and killing of bacteria. 1H-NMR and gel permeation chromatography(GPC) studies confirmed the successful synthesis of welldefined copolymer. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM), atomic force microscopy(AFM) and dynamic light scattering(DLS) studies proved the formation of vesicles with narrow size distribution. DLS studies revealed the excellent stability of vesicles at various temperatures. Antibacterial tests showed effective antibacterial activities of polymer vesicles against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, this strategy may be extended for preparing a wide range of polymeric materials for facile antibacterial applications in many fields.

Amphiphilic Block Copolymer Micelles for Gene Delivery

Gene therapy is a promising method to treat acquired and inherited diseases by introducing exogenous genes into specific recipient cells. Polymeric micelles with different nanoscopic morphologies and properties hold great promise for gene delivery system. Conventional cationic polymers, poly(ethyleneimine)(PEI), poly(L-lysine)(PLL), poly(2-dimethyla-minoethyl methacrylate)(PDMAEMA) and novel cationic polymers poly(2-oxazoline)s(POxs), have been incorporated into block copolymers and decorated with targeting moieties to enhance transfection efficiency. In order to minimize cytotoxicity, nonionic block copolymer micelles are utilized to load gene through hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions or covalent conjugations, recently. From our perspective, properties(shape, size, and mechanical stiffness, etc.) of block copolymer micelles may significantly affect cytotoxicity, transfection efficiency, circulation time, and load capacity of gene vectors in vivo and in vitro. This review briefly sums up recent efforts in cationic and nonionic amphiphilic polymeric micelles for gene delivery.

Miscibility of Halogen-containing Polymethacrylates with Various Poly(alkyl acrylate)s

The miscibility behavior of a series of halogen-containing polymethacrylates with poly(methyl acrylate), poly(ethyl acrylate), poly(n-propyl acrylate) and poly(n-butyl acrylate) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and for lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. Poly(chloromethyl methacrylate), poly(1-chloroethyl methacrylate), poly(2-chloroethyl methacrylate), poly(2,2-dichloroethyl methacrylate), poly(2,2,2-trichloroethyl methacrylate), poly(2-fluoroethyl methacrylate) and poly(1,3-difluoroisopropyl methacrylate) are miscible with some of the poly(alkyl acrylate)s. Most of the miscible blends show LCST behavior. However, poly(3-choloropropyl methacrylate), poly(3-fluoropropyl methacrylate), poly(4-fluorobutyl methacrylate), poly(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl methacrylate), poly(2-bromoethyl methacrylate) and poly(2-iodoethyl methacrylate) are immiscible with any of the poly(alkyl acrylate)s studied. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
